"What I want to say is, Mr. Chen, you don't need to feel guilty. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. This is the principle taught to us by the Princess." Ye Linghan said seriously, "If you could see for yourself how these barbarians treat our fellow men, you would no longer have any sympathy for them."
"I understand."
Chen Mo's heart was as clear as a mirror.
The previous conversation with Tana was a clear revelation.
In the eyes of the Barbarian Tribe, humans are no different from the cattle and sheep on the grasslands, all targets that can be slaughtered at will.
They have no concept of peaceful coexistence, believing that it's far easier to plunder than to rely on hard work and accumulation.
The reason they are currently restrained is merely due to the constraints of the situation. If the Da Yuan Country's power were to decline one day, they would undoubtedly reveal their bloody fangs and return!
Thud——
As the last barbarian fell into the pool of blood, all the captives were slaughtered to the last one.
Chen Mo looked at the dazed Cang Ya and said, "This old guy is a Witch from the Bone Erosion Tribe, at least over two hundred years old. He knows the desolate plains like the back of his hand, including the situation of several other tribes... I've interfered with his mind using a Secret Technique, so you can take him back and interrogate him slowly. He will surely tell you everything."
Just now, merely relying on those barbarian warriors, he had gained over ten thousand True Spirit points. He was now as wealthy as a king.
This old Witch might only be worth a few hundred points, not enough to affect him, better to use him to do someone a favor.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your assistance." Ye Linghan bowed, full of respect.
This entire operation, from planning to execution, was all thanks to Chen Mo.
As an Assistant General in the army, she usually looked down on those bureaucrats who merely occupied their positions. But Mr. Chen, who was nearly ten years younger than her, was an exception.
"Alright, now that the matter is almost settled, I'll be on my way..."
Chen Mo said and was about to turn and leave.
"My lord, please wait!"
Ye Linghan quickly stopped him, "Are you just going to leave like this?"
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Does Assistant General Ye have anything else?"
"The annihilation of the Bone Erosion Tribe is of great significance to our army. Once the news reaches the Princess, she will surely be overjoyed and will reward the entire army." Ye Linghan said, "This time you have contributed greatly, laying the foundation for victory. You must come back with us to the fortress to celebrate the honor!"
The other officers also looked at Chen Mo expectantly.
The steel torrent that swept through the battlefield left a deep impression on everyone.
The army highly values strength, who wouldn't want to have a drink with Mr. Chen, whose cultivation is nearly divine?
"I won't be attending the celebration, there are still many official duties waiting for me in Bailu City."
Chen Mo refused decisively.
The Little Tiger and Ye Zi'e are probably awake by now, who knows what trouble they're in, perhaps fighting again... He really didn't have the time to drink with a group of rough men.
"This... alright."
Ye Linghan, though somewhat disappointed, did not insist, and then asked, "By the way, how do you think I should write this report?"
For other military generals, achieving such a great deed would mean jumping two ranks was not out of the question!
However, Chen Mo is a military officer in the court, not a military leader, and cannot accumulate military merits. If the report is not written well, his contributions might go unnoticed.
"This is the result of all the soldiers' joint efforts and has little to do with me personally. Assistant General Ye can handle it as you see fit." Chen Mo didn't mind, he never intended to get involved in military or political affairs, it was just that he happened to encounter this situation.
"How can that be?" Ye Linghan resolutely said, "If it weren't for you controlling those barbarian slaves, we wouldn't have found the Bone Erosion Tribe's base, let alone turn the tide at the last moment..."
"So what?" Chen Mo waved his hand, smiling as he said, "Success doesn't have to be mine, but I must be part of the success, that's enough."
With that, his figure blurred and he vanished into thin air.
Ye Linghan stood there in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long while.
"Success doesn't have to be mine?"
She turned her head, gazing at the blood-stained field filled with corpses.
It wouldn't take long for these bodies to decay and dissolve, merging into the soil, becoming nutrients, and then being covered again by lush green grass.
Perhaps one day, she too would die on the battlefield, forever staying on the grassland, but there would still be another "Ye Linghan" to take her place, continuing to fight the barbarian tribes with the soldiers until the complete end.
However, everything she did would not disappear with her death, every step towards this goal bore her mark.
